I enjoyed this story a lot. It reminded me of my Mother-in-law and her struggles with missing her mom and husband.

Thank you 🙏. I feel like when people start making their own personal connections to something I’ve written then I got it right.

Sweet but sad! Jackie, you succinctly sketch out several themes surrounding elder death, and do it from the perspective of the elder, rather than the family. It makes me wonder if that’s how my own mother felt.

Who said you can’t draw?!

Thanks Doug! 🙏 I think I’m more drawn to the perspective of those who feel lonely or isolated.
